A Simple Song

I remember a song that I used to sing,

I remember it loud and I remember it clearly

 

it spoke of the trees, rainbows and bees

it described each of these things, beautifully.

It rang of the whispers that the clouds held,

written in words that only angels could spell

it gave home to every emotion I felt

 

suddenly shattering my innocent shroud

repeating the words without any doubt

But with feelings so urgent it turns to a shout

 

...and the song still sings of these beautiful things

but with a new passion and intensity

the song is sang calm but the chorus holds strong

and as the song ends the wounds start to mend

emotionally drained I fall asleep again

 

*but as the darkness of my eyelids begins to fade

each word begins taking shape

the trees and the bees and the beautiful things are all suddenly just within reach...*

 

I remember a song that I used to sing. I remember it loud and I remember it clearly.
